You don't find that the toner cakes and settles? I've had that in

weather. It required lots of shaking and I still didn't get the spec

cartridges are supposed to be good for 8,000 pages and cost me around
$220 CDN.
I have a CLP-550N and I have not had that problem. In fact, I
purchased
my printer going on three years ago and I am still using the factory
toner cartridges.
I haven't had that particular problem with my LaserJets. I have had
the imaging drum in the cartridge develop bad spots before the toner
was used up, but I think that was mechanical abuse, not old age. In
both cases the problem showed up shortly after the printer had been
bounced around in a moving truck.
